Option-Setting Functions 

Pressing the  Set Options function key causes HP Browse to display the
current value of its options.  The figure below shows each option's
default value (for a numbered file).

Changing Options 

To change these options, use the function keys associated with the option
you wish to change.  In the case of "Yes/No" options, the option value
will toggle between values when the function key is pressed.  Options
requiring integer or character values prompt you for a new value.  Press
Return to resume browsing the text window.

Display Line Numbers.  The Display Line Numbers option may be "Yes" or
"No".  If "Yes", HP Browse will display line numbers in the first nine
columns for standard numbered or unnumbered files or the first seven
columns for COBOL numbered files.  The default is "Yes" for numbered
files and "No" for unnumbered files.

Highlight Match.  The Highlight Match option may be "Yes" or "No".  If
"Yes", text found during searches is highlighted.  The default is "Yes".

Ignore Case.  The Ignore Case option may be either "Yes" or "No".  If
"Yes", HP Browse performs its searches without regard to the case of
characters in the file.  That is, alphabetic characters in the search
pattern will match either their uppercase or lowercase equivalents.  If
"No", the case must agree for HP Browse to match the search pattern.  The
default is "No".

Use Pattern-Matching Characters.  The Use Pattern-matching Chars option
may be "Yes" or "No".  If "Yes", special pattern-matching characters can
be used when you specify your search pattern.  (For more information, see
"Search Functions:  Define Search Patterns", in this chapter.)  If "No",
the search pattern is interpreted literally.  The default is "No".

Function Keys.  The Function Keys option toggles between "Save" and
"Replace".  The default is "Save", which saves your function keys as you
enter HP Browse and restores them upon exiting.  If the "Replace" value
is used, your function keys are overwritten as you enter HP Browse and
they are not restored upon exiting.

Forward/Back Scroll Size.  The Forward/Back Scroll Size option indicates
how many new lines are moved into view on each Forward/Back Scroll
function.  The value of this option must be an integer greater than zero.
The default is 20.

Left/Right Scroll Size.  The Left/Right Scroll Size option that indicates
how many columns are moved into view on each Left/Right Scroll function.
The value of this option must be an integer between 1 and 1000.  The
default is 60.

File Path.  The File Path option, if specified, must consist of suffixes
to append to a file name when the file name cannot be found in the
current group.  When this function key is pressed, the current file path
is displayed and you are prompted for a new file path.  Each path is
entered as ".Group" or ".Group.Account".  Specify multiple paths by
separating each suffix by either a comma or blank.
The default value for this option is .OUT.HPSPOOL, to simplify the
browsing of spool files.  You only need to enter the spooler output
number to specify the spool file in the file path; HP Browse fills in the
rest of the file path.

Saving Your Options 

The Save Configuration function saves the current browse and print
options to the file name you specify.  (See "File and Print Functions:
Print Text" for information about print options.)  The default file is
"HPBCONFG".  If you save the options to a file other than HPBCONFG, you
must use a file equation to redirect HPBCONFG to your file.

The options that are saved by pressing the  Save Config are listed below.
